Quote by John Burroughs
I have discovered the secret of happiness - it is work, either wit

I have discovered the secret of happiness – it is work, either with the hands or the head. The moment I have something to do, the draughts are open and my chimney draws, and I am happy. – John Burroughs

Other quotes by John Burroughs
